Reel to pair with NRX 853c
Reel to pair with NRX 853c
I was able recently buy a used NRX 853c and need some help as to the best reel to pair with it. This is my first NRX rod. I plan to use mainly for bottom baits. Does it pair better with a lighter weight such as Alde 50 or something heavier like a Zillion?
Re: Reel to pair with NRX 853c
I have Curado K HG's on my 853 and 854. They fish extremely well and balances the rods out nicely. Brian.
Are you fishing or aimlessly casting around?
Re: Reel to pair with NRX 853c
Thank you. I appreciate the response. I have a couple Curado 70’s. I might start with one of them.

Alde??
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible

Shimano Aldebaran 50.

Thank you. That is a sweet looking reel.
Re: Reel to pair with NRX 853c
I have either metanium mgls or aldebaran mgls on my nrx rods. Tend to use the metaniums for my longer rods and the alde mgls for the shorter ones. The bad part about the alde, if you're using it for bottom contact, it doesn't come in a xg model. The upside to that, that light combo will spoil you

Curado/ scorpion 70 on my nrx.

NRX 803: 104.8 grams while Pe Special: 226.5 grams.
I have tried to download pictures to share with you but failed.
Anyway I think 853 will be abit heavier so as you can see from the picture, The zillion sits pretty good on 803C JWR.

I was able to use the NRX 853c yesterday. I paired it with a Curado 70 and it seemed to balance well and feel good. Only caught a couple bass so more testing is needed.
